hippichick Knowflake Posts: 3396 From: Registered: May 2009	posted August 26, 2013 02:34 AM Years ago, in my "strange years" as I call it...I hung out with musicians and the like. The dude I was with at the time, his sis was married to James HoneyMan Scott, (now deceased) of The Pretenders. Her sis, the dude's sis dated Ray Davies (The Kinks) Robert Plant, 0n his very first release of his very first solo album dedicated it to these two chicks. O, my...weeks spent in Austin, doing this and that and drawing, just drawing so many things.. Burnt them so long ago.. Now, Wish I had not? Saturn playing with my 12th? I dont know...but just had to share... Would really appreciate more stories of things you wish you would have not done, but, looking back glad you did? t~ )~( IP: Logged

PixieJane Knowflake Posts: 9371 From: CA Registered: Oct 2010	posted August 26, 2013 04:04 AM I can't think of a time I'd rather forget as I found something to carry with me from all of it, even the bad parts. However, I do find the dreams where I'm stuck with my single divorced mom rather wearisome today, and ditto for dreams where I'm stuck back in school, and wish those would stop, they're usually as dreary as they are boring (notable exceptions existing).

hippichick Knowflake Posts: 3396 From: Registered: May 2009	posted August 26, 2013 04:17 AM Pixi I regret burning my beautiful drawings, but I came to a place in my life where I could not deal with "me" any more, was still very young...and now I regret. SO wish I had those drawings back. Thanks for replying!!! IP: Logged
Ceridwen unregistered	posted August 26, 2013 05:23 AM I once destroyed the diaries of 4 years (I manually ripped them apart), after, what I came to believe, was some kind of nervous breakdown. Long dark night of the soul, which noone, including myself, could REALLY understand, as I was living in stable conditions, surrounded by a loving family and nothing really traumatic had happened. I didn`t survive an earthquake, caraccident (though I nearly drowned on the Irish Sea, if that counts. But even that is probably an exaggeration It was just a very stormy night, but it didn`t realy help that afterwards several people of the staff mentioned how we had been really "lucky" with the direction the wind came from, had it changed, things might have gotten uglier than a night of nausea - and I never get seasick! I also stayed on deck all night, totally focusing on the up and down of the waves, of course it was freezing cold, but I was below deck once, having to climb over all the halfsleeping people there, who had probably been totally exhausted from throwing up all night, at least that is what it smelled like. It was a little rough I guess. But I disgress). But yeah, long dark night of the soul, as they say and all, and I did get rid of my diaries, which I now sometimes wish I hadn�t. But I also remember that at that time I NEEDED to do this to make a cut. Besides ironically I still know at least passages from my diaries. Oh and at that time I also threw away all my poems, which at that time were over 300. some of them weren`t even that bad. But gone, with the trash. I pretty much tried to eradicated the years 1990-1994 I guess. IP: Logged

I could have gone to boarding school and gotten away from my mother. I should have done that. I don't think I would have fallen into such a hole if I had. My hole has been age 14 until now. That is one big hole ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/ IP: Logged
hippichick Knowflake Posts: 3396 From: Registered: May 2009	posted August 26, 2013 10:05 AM Ceri, feel ya on that one!!! Actually I, as a teenager in the 70's would write and write and draw and draw, one day, with the above mentioned, I pulled everything out of neath my bed, that I had neatly tucked away and burned them all. O, Ami....you were so young... Ya'all know, I used to live without regret..and I used to be able to say that honestly, I guess I am just getting old, a ripe ol' 51 and starting to look back. Yea, I sure wish I had my drawings and my writings, mainly cause they were awesome but also cause I was so, so stupid to think I could run away from a part of me that is my "her-story" IP: Logged
Ami Anne Moderator Posts: 73158 From: Pluto/house next to NickiG Registered: Sep 2010	posted August 26, 2013 10:14 AM Yes, Terri I am starting to feel proud of myself for enduring a hard childhood. I think it built a depth in me and I like this about myself. ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/ IP: Logged

Barbiegirl19 unregistered	posted August 26, 2013 06:22 PM I would completely without ever second guessing myself delete when I met the piece of crap guy I dated for 4 years. He completely ruined my life. I dated him for 4 almost 5 years and I regret wasting any of my time with a person like that. So for me I would take back all the time I wasted with this scum of the earth. IP: Logged

YoursTrulyAlways Knowflake Posts: 7206 From: Registered: Oct 2011	posted August 27, 2013 03:05 PM Even worse than my childhood is the insinuation by certain LL members that I made a success of myself because of my childhood. That insults me to the core. Anyone who wants my "privileged" childhood, I'll gladly switch. Pfffttt. What a piece of sh1t. IP: Logged

YoursTrulyAlways Knowflake Posts: 7206 From: Registered: Oct 2011	posted August 27, 2013 03:53 PM Anyone who would like to be stripped naked after puberty and tied to a tree out front and horse whipped with a cane. Be my guest. Then you can ride in your own Mercedes with personal chauffeur to school, where you will be expected to not only get all As but all 100s in every subject and every activity. You will be very well fed with prime steaks though. Privileged my azz. IP: Logged
